James L. Swanson
As President Lincoln’s body travels 1700
miles to its final resting place, the chase is on for Confederate
President Jefferson Davis, the man believed, at first, to have murdered
Lincoln–not John Wilkes Booth! Bloody Crimes is New York Times bestselling author James Swanson’s second book. Bloody Crimes
follows the flight, and travel of these two fallen legends through the
bloody landscape of a wounded nation. Born on Lincoln’s birthday,
Swanson has studied and collected artifacts about the 16th President
since he was ten years old.
